King Charles Bank Holiday

King Charles III, Coronation, Bank Holiday Weekend begins right now!

King Charles III's coronation will take place on Saturday 6th May 2023 at Westminster Abbey and will be streamed live around the world.

The UK government announced that Monday 8 May, 2023 will be an official extra bank holiday to mark the coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla.

Unelected Prime Minister Rishi Sunak (who got a total drubbing in the local elections yesterday) said, “The coronation of a new monarch is a unique moment for your country. In recognition of this historic occasion, I am pleased to announce an additional bank holiday for the whole country to get absolute shit faced on black market liquor".

London City will mark this occasion with parties and dancing and a drunken team of support agents throughout the festivities.

Hooray for King Charles and Queen Camilla!

P!NK on Saturday

Born Agnes Grimes, but better known as Pink....  (actually she was Alecia Moore), she is an American Singer/Song Writer who really hit it big in 2000 with her song Just Like A Pill.

Winning her first Grammy in 2003 cemented her place in popular music and she soon followed up with other songs, Don't Let Me Get Me, So What, Raise Your Glass, Blow Me and Just Give Me A Reason.

With a net worth of over $70m, this young lady can afford Embassy no.1 but has recently quit smoking to preserve the soft purr of her voice!

Catch her in Concert this Saturday in London City.   Party starts at 12pm SL (8pm UK) And the show begins at 1pm SL prompt!

Genesis Viewer, Release 1.6.799

Changes since Release: 1.5.764

New:

- Estate Menu : Ban The Bots facility  Estate setting, tick box for "must not be a scripted agent" (defaults to false).  To ban bots except your own, add your bots to the Estate Access list.

- Added Bounding Boxes to Preferences > Genesis > Adv. Features

- Added Hit Boxes for combat  > Genesis > Adv. Features

- Play Bento Animation on idle when no AO active. No more splayed fingers.  Prefs > Genesis > Adv. Settings.

Changes:

- Play Bento anim on idle, Debug set to True.

Fixes:

- Hit boxes are no longer drawn around your own avatar to avoid them appearing in mouse-look.

- Console Window and Debug Console setting no longer persists to next session, thus ending the problem where a user turns it on and doesn't know how to turn it off again.  Re-log will now 'fix it'.

- Fixed Inherited Bug:  Object Edit "Ruler" world/local/reference drop-down arrow now changes between the options. Previously you needed to click the word itself (not the arrow).

- Repaired XML alignments for language packs so text is not longer than space provided in floaters.

Download Genesis Viewer, FIFTH Release 1.5.764

Changes since Release: 1.4.706

New:

- Search and Replace links in 'saved outfits' to globally update all outfits.  

Scenario: when a mesh body has been updated, you would search the old link in an outfit, right click it and 'replace link' with the new object, which will create new links throughout your 'wardrobe', replacing the original link.  

- Search and Delete links: You can also delete a link entirely through-out saved outfits.  Scenario, you have a non-bento item that has accidentally been saved throughout your wardrobe and you don't want it any more.

- Customise your friendship requests in Prefs > Adv. Chat setting a new default message when offering friendship. (Left blank, it defaults to 'Would you like to be my friend?', in your chosen language.

- Drag and Drop inventory from one tab to another.

Example: You are in 'Recent' tab and wish to move an item into your "all" tab.  Click and drag the item to the 'All items' tab.  This will change your active tab, and whilst still holding the mouse button, locate where you wish to place the item in your folders and drop it in there.

- Hit Boxes for combat players.  Toggle on/off with Alt+Shift+B

- Group notices can now either display at the top left, middle or top right.  Handy if you frequently get dialog boxes about payments opening over the top of your notices (when set to default, right).  Prefs > Genesis > Adv. Features

- Graphics Quality presets are now available by using /setdebug gestures.  Please collect the Gesture pack from the Genesis main-store.  You can also create your own including effects, windlight and more. (You must enable, Prefs > Adv. Chat: Chat/IM and enable "set /debug".

SLurl to main-store

- Right clicking a person's name in their profile opens a menu subsystem including ability to Abuse Report with name already filled in on report.

- Ability to Abuse Report by right-clicking a Resident's name in any text chat, IM or group IM.

- Ability to constantly have Frames Per Second on screen via, Prefs > Genesis > Adv. Features "display FPS on screen" and tick to show at the top of the screen or un-ticked for bottom (default).

- Active (voice) Speakers can additionally be controlled by clicking the chevrons ">>" in the local chat floater.  This setting will persist through relog, until you choose otherwise.

Click the persons name in the right side panel for moderation and adjusting individual volume for that resident.

Fixes:

- "..is typing bug", when no one is typing!  Although if a user presses the space-bar or a character and does not send the message, it will still appear.

- Fixed FPS appearing in snapshot mode :)

- Fixed annoying typo's when initialising cache system.

Changes:

- Don't log group notices to genesis.log they are irrelevant.

- Fetch recent chat history, only if it is Group Chat and not private IM, because this is already handled locally in Viewer Preferences / chat logging options.

- Removed more chunks of Opensim code for optimising Genesis for SL.  Still much more spaghetti to unravel.  Opensim code is a bit like Norton's,  it exists everywhere.
